Cognite InField: Renaming Synthetic Timeseries

Related products: InField

On behalf of a DEL (Daily Execution Lead)

 

As a user, I would like the ability to rename my synthetic timeseries tags without InField creating a "new" synthetic tag and losing the linked historical data to the previous tag in the process

Thanks @Benjamin A Onweni !

Do you have any insights to share on why a DEL would rename the time series? Thanks!


Hi Kristoffer,

Thanks for getting back to me. The DEL or admin users will want to have the ability to rename timeseries tags when assets are changed in their unit. Ultimately, having the ability to rename timeseries tags will avoid the issue of losing historical data when a new synthetic tag is created.


Additionally, the naming of time series in InField is an empty text field which leaves a lot of room for human error.  when an error in naming convention is discovered and needs to be corrected the Unit and Site would like option to fix/rename and keep the history all together. I hope this is helpful for context.

I believe the issue you point out @Crystal Connor Richards could be solved with an approach like this and with the new Template functionality in InField.
